Woodinville, King County
We charge $99 plus tax to inspect each Woodinville chimney, and when you say yes to the written repair quote, those $99 are subtracted from it. We examine the stack from up on the roof, the flue from inside, and the firebox, damper and hearth from the room. You get photos of each and a plain answer: safe to use, needs attention, or needs work first.

Most homes here were built after 1980; the Census median for Woodinville is 1995. A newer house still has a chimney that ages, though. Framed chases, metal caps, crowns and the joint where the stack meets the roof all wear, and they wear fastest on the side that takes the late-fall wind.
Very few Woodinville homes rely on wood for their main heat: the Census estimate is about five households, roughly 0.1 percent, with the rest split between electric and gas heat. The fireplace or stove is usually a second source, lit on weekends and cold nights.
Occasional use is not the same as low risk. Washington's fire marshal, citing national data, reports that over 75 percent of 2024's home heating fires started in a chimney or flue, or in the burning appliance itself. The office recommends a yearly professional inspection and cleaning, and a cap on every chimney.
Every chimney inspection we do in Woodinville includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowThe calls we get in Woodinville tend to be about two moments. One is a home purchase, when the buyer has never seen the fireplace lit and wants to know what they are taking on. The other is the first cold snap, when a fireplace that has not been used for a few winters is about to carry a full evening fire again.
Wildfire season lines up with the region's warm, dry stretch, according to the clean air agency, and their smoke carries the same health risks as wood smoke in larger amounts. King County health officials add that a plume can keep air poor across the county for a few days or for weeks.
During those stretches, a chimney with a missing cap or a damper that no longer seals lets outside smoke drift into the living room. An inspection notes both, so you know whether the fix is a cap, a damper, or nothing at all.
We check the cap, crown, masonry or chase siding, and the flashing where the chimney passes through the roof.
From the firebox we examine the liner, the smoke chamber and the damper, noting deposits, gaps and cracks.
Every finding is photographed, so you can see the same thing we saw rather than take our word for it.
You get a written summary, and if work is needed, a written quote you can take time to think over.

Yearly. The NFPA 211 standard treats one inspection every twelve months as the floor, however little the fireplace was lit.
Yes. Light use slows soot buildup, but it does nothing for a cracked crown, a failed cap or a nest left in the flue over summer.
